Catholic Media Alliance Takes Shape: Enugu Practitioners Secure Diocesan Support

-By Ruben Mario Brodrick 

​ENUGU, Nigeria — The Catholic Media Practitioners Association of Nigeria (CAMPAN), Enugu Diocese chapter, officially launched its operations by holding a vital introductory meeting with the Director of Social Communications, Reverend Father Anthony Aneke. The small but significant gathering took place on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at the Holy Ghost Cathedral, signaling a new era for Catholic engagement in the local media landscape.

​A Formal Introduction and Mandate

​The meeting served as the formal presentation of the newly established diocesan body to the Director. Mr. Gregory Odiakosa, the interim chairman of CAMPAN Enugu Diocese, explained that the assembly was necessary to introduce the association to Fr. Aneke and to outline their initial plans and programs.

​“We are just starting, having received a mandate from our national body during the last conference,” Odiakosa stated. “Since then, we have been gathering Catholic media practitioners from government-owned, privately-owned, and independent media spaces, including social media.”

​The association currently has 17 practitioners in the diocesan chapter and expects a substantial increase in membership as more Catholics working across various media houses join the fold.

​Diocesan Assurance and Commitment

​The event was inaugurated with an opening prayer led by Fr. Anthony Aneke, who offered warm words of gratitude and encouragement to the pioneering group.

​Commending the association for taking such a proactive and bold step, the diocesan communications director assured the group of his full support and commitment. He promised to actively guide the body, involve them in diocesan communication programs, and facilitate an eventual meeting with the Bishop to further solidify their position.

​Participants, including Mrs. Aniude Callista Ijeoma (Member) and Mr. Uchenna Eze (Interim Secretary), described the engagement as “wonderful” and expressed immense joy at finally establishing a formal, working relationship with the diocesan communications office.

​With this powerful assurance from Fr. Aneke, the Enugu Diocese chapter of CAMPAN is now poised to strengthen the Catholic presence in the media space and contribute meaningfully to the growth and evangelization mission of the Church.

-​By Ruben Mario Brodrick  The Catholic Diocese of Issele-Uku and the entire Ika nation have been plunged into deep mourning following the sudden and poetic transition of one of their most dedicated spiritual pillars, Very Rev. Fr. Stephen Chukwuma . In an event that has left the congregation of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Boji-Boji Agbor, in a state of shock and solemn reflection, the beloved cleric breathed his last while performing his final earthly duty: presiding over the New Year Day Mass. ​Witnesses recount that Father Chukwuma was standing at the pulpit, delivering the message of hope for the year 2026, when he collapsed in the presence of his parishioners. Despite the immediate efforts of those present, it became clear that the veteran priest had finished his race. For many of the faithful, his death is seen as a "saintly exit," occurring while he was clad in his sacred vestments and standing at the altar of God—the very place he dedicated his...
